Advancements in Export Compliance at Murata Manufacturing

Murata Manufacturing, a leading company in the electronic components sector based in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto, has recently partnered with Sayari Labs, Inc., a Washington D.C.-based enterprise, to enhance its export compliance. This collaboration aims to strengthen the screening processes and ensure adherence to international regulations as geopolitical risks evolve rapidly worldwide.

In recent years, the international landscape surrounding trade compliance and economic security has undergone significant changes. The rise of geopolitical risks has led to the restructuring of supply chains, particularly concerning strategic materials such as semiconductors and rare earth elements. Governments across the globe are responding by tightening export controls and expanding the scope of regulatory lists, enforcing stricter compliance measures.

On September 29, 2025, a new regulation from the U.S. Department of Commerce introduced new requirements affecting entities on the BIS Entity List and the Military End Users List, allowing for broader implications even for those not directly listed. Consequently, Japanese manufacturers, including Murata, find themselves under increasing pressure to adapt promptly to these changes.

To navigate this dynamic regulatory environment, Murata has adopted Sayari’s risk detection platform, which enhances the ability to investigate ownership and trade relationships while providing monitoring capabilities related to sanctions and export controls. The tools launched include SAYARI GRAPH and SAYARI SIGNAL BIS50/SANCTIONS50, designed to incorporate regulatory lists and entities associated with ownership into screening systems. By leveraging Sayari's platform, Murata is poised to efficiently adapt to new rules and maintain high standards of trade compliance.

Sayari's Unique Offerings

Sayari Labs stands out as a provider of comprehensive data, with over 9 billion records related to companies, ownership structures, and trade risks sourced from more than 250 countries and regions, along with additional personal information and relationships. This repository gives businesses invaluable insights for managing export controls, supply chain risks, financial crime, and overall economic security.

Sayari also predicted the introduction of the 50 percent rule well ahead of its implementation, having begun service offerings on its platform in May of this year. Their data is not only utilized by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) but also by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), ensuring its relevance and application in real-world compliance scenarios.

Moving forward, Sayari is dedicated to swiftly adapting its solutions to keep pace with international developments and regulatory changes. This ensures that firms like Murata can implement robust export compliance measures while managing risk effectively.
